Dan: How to ask GF parents for permission to have a serious relation with out hiding?
We want to go out as a couple not a married couple but as BF and GF serious relation. However she wants me to ask her parents for permission but a never done this before since this is my first time in a whale that a have a serious relation. I don’t have the proper words to ask her parents. She does tell me that her mom is very sweet and will understand but her dad is very strict and jealous of his daughters. Any advice?

You shouldn’t have to ask if you’re over the age of majority. But if you want to, just ask.

If you wanted to date my daughter and she was under 18, then yes, you need to come to my home and speak to her father and myself.

Just say you would like to date their daughter.

Be honest, sincere, and genuine. Assure them of your feelings for their daughter, and your intention to treat her with respect. Then, make sure that you follow through with your promises. It will only take one slip-up on your part for her parents to stop trusting and supporting you and the relationship.

I think any normal parent just wants there child’s partner to be someone who makes the kid happy, treats them with kindness and respect.

I think just being yourself, i dont think your gf would bring you into her home and to her parents if she didn’t think you were worth it so don’t be too nervous or stress over it. i think that her parents would find it very respectful of you to ask them to date their daughter, because it shows that you respect them and their daughter and that you have good intentions.(a guy would not do this if he ws not serious and parents know this). In terms of the proper words just explain to them your intentions with their daughter, explain why you came to them first (because ur gf asked you to and you chose to respect her wishes). explain that you want to date and spend time together, let them know that your intentions are good. a warning though, fathers are not usually so easily won over (especially when they are strict) so you will have to most likely prove you are a good guy through your actions and the way you treat their daughter. you might have an easier time being accepted by the mom than the dad, but if the mom is supporting you guys then the dad would probably follow suit but he would also still keep an eye on you since you are with his baby girl. no matter what you say to the parents you still have to live up to this through you actions, but coming to them to ask is a step in the right direction
good luck!!

Dan, simply tell them you have very high respect for their daughter & you’ve grown to like her very much recently. You also respect their wishes & this is the reason you’re asking their permission to date their daughter. You have the best of intentions & would like to start to take her places & be able to do things with her. You can assure them they can trust you & you will do everything in your power to protect her & make sure she’s always safe when she’s with you. You just felt you’d feel better asking them first rather than just taking her out without them knowing she’ll be in the best hands possible. Would they be so kind as to give you their permission. I feel that’s all you’d need to say…best to you…:)
